Hmm, that should work - pretty sure we've used that to load local files in the past. Note that window.alert() won't work in commands - use displayMessage() or CmdUtils.log() instead. So if that's what you've tested with, then that's probably the problem.
Failing that, have a look at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/File_I%2f%2fO#Reading_from_a_file Its not as simple, but it should at least work. Also, what version of Ubiquity are you running? 0.1.2 or the development version? - Blair On 30/11/2008 3:25 AM, Aurimas wrote: > Thanks for your answer. It works. But not for local files.
